No. 335 Do not give in to fate

The 335th does not give in to fate

Wu Jingzhong looked into the distance with amazement: "Slavery to feudalism and then to capitalism is a long and complex process, during which I don't know how many Enlightenment thinkers worked hard to explore the future path. I don't know if the Union will be able to surpass capitalism, and even I am pessimistic that the Ukrainian Union they created has a high probability of collapsing like the Soviet Union, but whether the end result is good or bad, they are really going in that direction. Rather than dwelling on the general concepts of freedom, democracy, and equality in the current context of public opinion, the members of the League Party strive to absorb the nourishment of communism and capitalism, and strive to use the Soviet Union as a mirror to practice reform, and explore a great social relationship that can completely crush capitalism. ”

"The political and economic ideas of the League Party were not as hostile to the yeoman and middle classes as the early Workers' Party, nor did they intend to criticize the weakness of the middle class. On the contrary, the League is very sympathetic to the homesteaders middle class. ”

"It is well known that the peasants and proletarians were too poor to pay taxes, and the powerful were able to reasonably avoid land taxes, and the seemingly wealthy yeoman peasant class was in fact the main source of tax revenue for the feudal dynasty. Now the same is the case, the bottom of the society and the unemployed are so poor that they can't pay taxes, and crony capital uses all kinds of means to reasonably avoid taxes, whether it is the United States on the other side of the ocean, or our country at our feet, the seemingly wealthy middle class is always the first to kill pigs. ”

"For example, the personal income tax ...... that plays an important role in regulation"

"How much tax do you pay in a month?"

When Wu Jingyi heard the word personal income tax, she suddenly felt the pain of being dominated by taxes: "My pre-tax salary last month was 30,260 yuan, five insurances and one housing fund were deducted 5,132.2 yuan, and personal income tax was deducted 4,401.95 yuan, and the actual salary received was only 20,725 yuan." said that the monthly salary was 30,000 yuan, but in fact, it was only 20,000 yuan. ”

Wu Jingzhong: "The deduction of 4,400 yuan of personal income tax from a monthly salary of 30,000 yuan seems to have played an important mediating role. But if you look at the real bourgeoisie, especially in your Internet industry, how much personal income tax do they pay for the bosses who proudly advertise that they have an annual salary of zero or one yuan a year? Warren Buffett has come out to complain that the United States dotes on the super-rich, and his net worth is tens of billions of dollars, and the total tax bill in 2010 was only $6.4 million. Even after careful adjustment for tax avoidance, Buffett's tax rate is only 17.4%, far lower than the average tax rate of his employees of 36%. I am not against personal income tax, but I would like to say that even if we carefully set up a ladder for personal income tax, it will not be able to restrain the truly rich. ”

"The League sympathizes with the suffering of the middle class, understands the middle class's misery, and has no intention of forcing the middle class to stand up for revolution. Thus, the League did not criticize petty-bourgeois weakness as bitterly as the early League parties, but gently tolerated their self-deception. ”

Or rather, the League has ruthlessly disdained the yeoman and middle classes. The fact that the League understands the weakness of the middle class does not mean that the League praises weakness, and the League may simply feel that forcing the middle class to stand up for revolution is an effort that does not outweigh the losses, or it may simply feel that the conservative middle class is incapable of influencing the mighty course of history. ”

"The League Party has a most typical manifesto that is different from that of the Workers' Party: 'It is not the slaves who destroy slavery, it is not the peasants who destroy feudalism, and it is probably not the workers who destroy capitalism.'" The peasants were used to overthrow the slave society, the workers were used to overthrow the feudal society, and the capitalist society may need entirely new forces to overthrow it. The League Party wanted to find feudal lords in a slave society, capitalists in a feudal society, and new forces with future power in a capitalist society. ”

Wu Jingyi smacked her tongue when she heard this: "The new forces overthrow capitalism...... Tsk, doesn't the Union even look down on Marx? ”

Wu Jingzhong smiled: "Religion will worship the ancients without principles. The core philosophy of the League is to respect the past but not to revere it, and social progress forces the present to be better than the ancients. We respect Marx, Kant, Hegel, Rousseau, Descartes, Montesquieu, Bacon, Confucius, Laozi, Mozi, and Xunzi, but we never think that they are absolute truths that cannot be surpassed. Even if it turns out in the end that we are wrong, it makes sense, and at least it can provide some experience of failure to those who come after us. If, as in the case of scientific research, the mistake suddenly leads to success, that will be the result that the League is hoping for. ”

"The 'ancients', who are better today than the ancients, include both Marx and the Union. The League has never claimed that its ideas are the only truth in the universe, and that the League has advocated a methodology for testing truth rather than that everything it says and does is truth, and its current practice is only an attempt to explore because it is not satisfied with the status quo. If there is an organization that can creatively propose more promising social relations, I think the first reaction of the League will be to humbly seek advice from it, rather than to be inexplicably hostile to them. ”

"I don't know much about the relationship between the Alliance and the Spring and Autumn Group, but if the Spring and Autumn Group really has something worthy of the Alliance's admiration, it is indeed a very normal thing for the Alliance to humbly learn from the Spring and Autumn Group."

Wu Jingyi could not understand the structure and bizarre ideas of the coalition.

Wu Jingyi has always been more concerned about the rights and wrongs of Wu Jingzhong than the Alliance: "When did you first come into contact with the ideas of the Alliance? ”

Wu Jingzhong: "The third month of serving as an Internet policeman. ”

Wu Jingyi's eyes widened in surprise, she never expected that Wu Jingzhong's entanglement with the Alliance Party would be so early.

Wu Jingyi suddenly realized: "It turns out that the reason for your resignation is the Union Party." ”

Wu Jingzhong understood Wu Jingyi's misunderstanding, and corrected it in time: "You guessed wrong. At that time, like you, I believed in 'self-fulfillment', and my head was full of thoughts of meritorious service and promotion, so I was willing to go to southern Africa to ......."

After talking about what the League Party was, Wu Jingzhong slowly told the truth and told his sister that he was actually going to southern Africa as a spy. Compared with the subtle change of the concept of the Alliance Party, Wu Jingzhong's drastic change from a spy to a leaning Alliance Party is obviously more terrifying. Wu Jingyi took a cold breath, and suddenly felt that the brother in front of her was a little strange: "Spy ......"

Wu Jingzhong nodded and confirmed: "Yes, I was originally ordered to infiltrate the Alliance Party. ”

Wu Jingyi didn't understand Wu Jingzhong's choice: "Why do you want to be a spy, isn't it good to be a civil servant in An An'an?" ”

Wu Jingzhong sighed: "You also know that our family conditions are not good, and I started to help take care of housework when I was in elementary school; I left home in junior high school, and almost all of my spare time was spent part-time to earn extra money; In order to alleviate the heavy pressure caused by tuition fees, I wanted to apply for military school at one point. ”

Wu Jingyi: "I know. ”

Wu Jingyi's mind resurfaced the picture of the past, and said in a low and sentimental tone: "In 2000, I was in the fifth grade of primary school, and you were in the first year of high school. Although the tuition fee for middle school is not much, it is difficult for our poor family to even scrape together dozens of yuan or hundreds of yuan. At that time, your academic performance was good, and the school teacher advised your parents to persist for another three years no matter what, so your parents supported you to continue your studies. ”

"That evening, I still remember that the sunset was red and red, and my parents said to me with a guilty face that my family really had no money to support my two children to study, and hoped that after I graduated from primary school, I would follow my distant relatives as an apprentice to learn beauty salons and nails. When you come home on the weekend, you rarely rebel against your parents, saying that you must let me study, and shouting, 'I'll support my sister to study.'" It just so happened that my distant relatives also disliked my young age at that time, and felt that the work I could do was not worth the money to support me, so I could continue to study and go to school. ”

"My parents are old farmers who have no knowledge, and they can only dig in the land for food, and the little food money on the mountains is really limited. It was you who worked hard to save money for 24 hours a day, and barely managed to make up my tuition and miscellaneous fees. I know how hard you live, and I want to share some of your hardships. When I came to Panyang Normal University in 2006, I heard the part-time invitations of the senior sisters, so I begged them to take me there; When I arrived at the part-time Spring and Autumn Exhibition Hall, I begged the team leader to arrange more time for me, others worked part-time one day a week, and I worked part-time two days a week to earn twice my salary. ”

"The year 2006 was a turning point in our family's situation, I was able to earn money part-time, and you barely had some money left over in your first year of graduate school. In 2008, you got your wish and were admitted to the civil service; In 2009, I also became an intern in Spring and Autumn as I wished. Although the internship salary was only 2,340 yuan, I got up early and worked late to control the skills required for the job as quickly as possible, and I was officially hired as a fourth-year university student in just one month, and my monthly salary doubled to 4,290 yuan the next month. ”

"In 2010, I also succeeded, and you also succeeded, and the suffering career can finally come to a complete end."

"I don't understand."

"I just don't get it."

"Isn't it good for you to be a civil servant?"

Wu Jingzhong patted Wu Jingyi's shoulder: "The reason is very simple, because your brother has never been a stable person." If I had been willing to be safe and stable, I would have dropped out of school and accepted my fate, either staying in my hometown or being forced to work in the province. ”

"However, your brother never accepted his fate."

"What is fate?"

"Fate is a shackle destined to be shattered by me."

"I don't accept my fate, I don't want to live in a small ravine for the rest of my life, so when I see the hope of reading to change my fate, I desperately study to change my fate. Even though I was busy working part-time to earn money and had no time to study in my spare time, I still scored 498 points in the college entrance examination, which was very limited from the average admission score of 519 points for Yenching University and 520 points for Tsinghua University that year. If our family conditions are a little more affluent, if I can spare a certain amount of time to review my homework, I believe I can even be easily admitted to Tsinghua Yan University. ”
